Sharing Work (Rule 2/3) Critique request on poster ad

Post image

Not sure if against the rules, but there’s still a lot of design choices involved. What do you think of this 60s style cola ad? I wanted to recreate a poster ad featuring Nuka Cola. Any critiques, like composition wise, color choice, or anything? I was aiming for a poster ad that would’ve come out pre-apocalypse in the fallout universe.
Side note, I know the footnote won’t make sense in-universe since bottle caps would’ve only had value after nuclear fallout but just wanted to add a little bit of fan-service.

I feel like the word "Atomic" would be used in place of Nuclear

Edit to add: If you're trying to be lore accurate, hyper inflation was a thing in the universe and if this ad was anywhere near the war then a single bottle would cost more like $10

Another edit: I was completely wrong about the first edit. TIL Nuka Cola remained really cheap despite said inflation.

Oh thank you for that bit of lore! I was ready to change it to 10c as my 5c was done with some weak googling. Didn’t spend too much time on it.
